March 2021 - Citizenship applications

[Ryan Gotham]

I am wondering if these new processing times are for people who apply now only or including the ones who applied like 1 year ago when the processing time was 12 months? I hope it is the latter. Cause mine is the same. I sent my application on Feb 21st (2021), they received the package on March 1st, send me AOR on April 24th and background check completed on July 12th. Nothing since then. (Vancouver) My husband applied 3 months earlier than me and he is now waiting for oath. Not sure why mine is stuck

Ah, it’s unfortunate that yours is stuck. I do hope that the processing times are for applications submitted in recent times but we will never know. Since your husband’s application went through to later stages, did you try contacting IRCC or submit any web forms?

Congratulations. Happy to see Vancouver office making some progress. I have a very similar timeline. My last update was on Feb 8 one day after yours. I hope my turn will come soon. Fingercrossed.

Decision made for me in my old tracker and in my new tracker said that the last apdated was today April 8 but my ceremony said that haven't been started yet and that is the last thing that I am waiting for. Is this normal? , It is going to take time to actualized ?

IRCC informed me last month that it takes on average 6-8 weeks to get the invitation for the citizenship ceremony after all other steps are completed. This is the case for most applications.

Unfortunately at this point not for me.

Please make sure you use the correct subject when sending your signed oath form. I sent mine with with the wrong subject (I was told to use time and date but I used time date and year, thinking that will clarify everything) and that delayed my final approval by 3 weeks. It got approved same day I resent the form with the right subject.

Should I contact IRCC? Is it normal that my new tracker is actualized today but nothing changed in the system? I'm little worried about it

I don't think there is any thing to worry about. Was status changed to Completed for Language etc already? Probably status in eCAS was already changed at that time. & Now they touched your application for scheduling oath.
